Hnusewife Recruiting Did you know, Mrs. Housewife that half of the potential (at salvage has been untouched, and one-third of the American housewives are not saving used cooking fat ? That is the question posed today by May E. Foley, exten- sion nutritionist at Massachusetts State College, who quotes surveys showing that while 98 per cent of the nation's women kn0w that used cooking fat is still needed, that only 62 per cent are current salvagers. This fact bears out the Department of Agriculture's state- ment that more than half the annual 500,000,000 pounds fat salvage potential goes down the drain. Every Massechusetts housewife can cooperate with Gov- ernor Tobin's Famine Emergency Committee by using less wheat and fats and oils products, but probably the most tangi- ble contribution she can make to the world feeding shortage is the used cooking fat she saves and turns over to the meat dealer for four cents a pound. While salvaging fat doesn't feed starving people, it does lessen both consumer and industrial demands on fats and oils and allows more food fats to be shipped overseas.

These ships are to he used, according to company officials , on the Hyannis-Nantuckel run this summer, "This type of ship was selected by the Hyannls Steamship Line for several reasons," stated Gordon David , manager. "First , they were designed and built to Const Guard standards of seaworthiness, which Is a real factor on Nantucket Sound. While not large , only slight- ly larger than the average yacht , Ihey aro of shoal draft , and thero will be no danger of grounding in the shallow entrance to Hyannls Harbor." The company felt that to pro- vide reliable service to and from Nantucket , for residents and sum- mer visitors alike , there should bo two vessels available, so that there would be no danger of "stranding " passengers. The ship, built In 1943 by Wheeler Shipyards at New York to rigid Coast Giiard specifications, are equipped with every modern safety device and more deck area than comparable vessels of their size. Passengers taking the voyage will be able to enjoy the sea air and will not have to spend their time Inside a cabin.
